I am trying to figure out what this rodent is. I thought it was a native (Georgia) but a not sure now. They have eaten lots of my tomatoes in the past.. grr… and am putting my plants in cages this year for protection.
It's body is about 3-4 inches long with the long tale and big eyes. It isn't a mouse - too big and long. Its not a Norway rat - too small and the wrong color.
Thanks.
